Makes late defensive cameo
Tomiyasu registered one interception in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Everton.
Analysis: Tomiyasu came on in the 72nd minute to replace an injured Chadi Riad, registering one interception across his 18 minutes as Crystal Palace closed out Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Everton. The Japanese international's availability now gives manager Pierre Sage an experienced option to fill the left side of the back three during Riad's absence, and with the Moroccan defender potentially sidelined for a significant period, Tomiyasu is expected to step into a starting role immediately heading into the Manchester City fixture.
Signs with Crystal Palace
Tomiyasu signed with Crystal Palace after a successful trial period, the club announced.
Analysis: Tomiyasu spent four years at Arsenal before joining Ajax for the second half of last season, contributing an assist across nine appearances, and also represented Japan at this summer's World Cup, adding to his tally of 46 caps for his country. The 27-year-old is capable of playing either full back or center back, giving Crystal Palace added flexibility across the backline. Tomiyasu is expected to compete for playing time as he begins the next chapter of his career.
